HENDERSON'S LARGE-FLOWERING 



Perfection =^^^ 

 ^= Sweet William. 



For many years the Sweet William has been esteemed 

 as one of the finest of our hardy garden plants, being 

 of easy culture, thriving in any good garden soil and 

 lasting for years. The plants grow about 1 foot high 

 and form fine clumps. Our improved Perfection 

 strains produce very large florets in large heads in 

 greatest profusion and of a great variety of extremely 

 rich colors, including blood-crimson, salmon, pink, 

 white, cerise, etc. — many having large white eyes, and 

 all being deliciously sweet scented. (See cut.) 

 Harlequin. Large flowers of several colors are produced 

 on the same plant. Sometimes ahead will be all crim- 

 son, another all pink, another white, etc., but usually 

 florets of different colors will be borne in one head; 



very unique and beautiful Pkt. 10c.

New Annual 



SUMMER CYPRESS or BELVIDERE. 



(Kochia Trichophylla.) 



An old-fashioned popular annual, sometimes known as Belvidere, Mock Cypress, Mexican Fire 

 Plant, etc. It is easily grown from seed — forming oval bushes 2 to 2\ feet high, densely clothed 

 with small feathery light-green foliage, deepening in color as the summer advances until the whole 

 plant assumes a fiery crimson hue. An attractive plant at all times, either in garden beds or pots.

[Bgnir^Si^gB 



(Dianthus Barbatus Annus.) 



One of the finest novelties of the season. The old 

 favorite Sweet William, as all know, does not flower 

 until the second year from seed, but this new type 

 commences blooming in early summer from spring- 

 sown seed and continues in flower for several weeks. 

 The plants are of the same habit as the perennial kinds, 

 producing fine heads of bloom of various colors — white, 

 crimson, rose-pink, etc., many of which are broadly 

 edged with white and sweetly fragrant. (See cut.) 

 Mixed Colors Pkt. 20c. 



THUNBERGIA 

 ALATA. 



Rapid-growing climbers attain- 

 ing a height of 6 to 8 feet, densely 

 clothed with neat, green foliage 

 not affected by insects; the small 

 single flowers of various colors are 

 freely produced. A neat, pretty 

 vine for trellis, fences, rockwork, 

 etc. Though a tender perennial, 

 it is usually grown as an annual.

Tufted or Bedding 



"Pansy-Violets." 



New Large-Flowering Hybrids. 



( Viola Cornirta Grandif lora Hybrida.) 



This new and improved strain 

 produces beautiful pansy-like 

 blossoms, 2 to 2\ inches across, 

 of great substance and of most 

 brilliant colors, including white, 

 lemon, orange, claret, crimson, 

 maroon, lavender, purple, silver- 

 gray, rose, black, blue, etc.; also 

 fancy varieties tinted, striped, 

 blotched, feathered, picotee-edged, 

 etc. The plants are hardy, of 

 vigorous growth, forming deep- 

 rooting, compact, tufted clumps. 

 Planted in masses or lines they 

 form perfect mats covered with 

 myriads of flowers from spring un- 

 til cold weather. They are more 



perennial in character than pansies, throwing out new roots annually, adapting them to permanent 

 beds, edgings, etc. The flowers are borne on long stems which shoot up like those of the violet 

 directly from the roots, which accounts for their continuous bloom for nine months in the year. 

 Manv of them are as highly scented as the sweetest violet.
